Premium motorcycle manufacturer, India Kawasaki Motors (IKM) Pvt Ltd has bikes that awe and thrill in equal measure and many aficionados hope to grab one. However, that dream of owning a Kawasaki bike will now require some more money to turn it into a reality as the company has announced that it is going to increase prices of its select models. This increase in Kawasaki Motorcycles ex-showroom Delhi price will be effective from April 1, 2019.
Kawasaki may hike prices by up to 7%.
Kawasaki says that it believes in keeping prices of its motorcycles very competitive in the India market.

Recently, IKM launched two models, namely Ninja ZX-6R and Versys 1000.
The new prices will be disclosed on the website of IKM on April 1, 2019.
